The Dane County Coordinated Community response to Domestic Violence Task Force (CCRDVTF), is an appointed task force of the Dane County Commission on Sensitive Crimes. The Commission created the CCRDVTF in June of 1990 with the intention of developing a county-wide, systematic response to relationship (domestic) violence. The CCRDVTF works to enhance safety and protection for victims of domestic violence and their children, while seeking to hold batterers accountable for their violent behavior.
